Fatigue strength: CX steel (Vxx/TMS)
This page presents the S-N curves and fatigue limit of CX steel samples that underwent heat treatment, machining that removed allowance of 0.5mm and shot-peening (in that order), obtained using the bending tests of rotating bars with AM layers normal to the axis of rotation.
Production and prost-processing conditions
| Build orientation of longitudinal axis | vertical |
|---|---|
| Position with respect to inert gas flow | undefined |
| Post-processing | heat treatment → machining allowance 0.5mm → shot-peening |
Experimental S-N curve
| Experimental method | ISO1143, rotating bending test R=-1 |  |
|---|---|---|
| Run-out criterion | 107 cycles | |
| AM layers | normal to axis of rotation |
Wöhler curve
| Fatigue limit (MPa) | 512 |
|---|---|
| Number of cycles to failure N | N=1,98⋅10<html>25</html>⋅S<html>-6,76</html> |
| Stress amplitude S (MPa) | S=5545⋅N<html>-0,148</html> |
